Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

• Start your volume control at a low setting.

• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it

comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

• Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

Decibel Level Example

30 Quiet library, soft whispers 40

Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic 50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office 60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine 70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant

Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock

80 at two feet.

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE

Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower 100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill 120 Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap 140 Gunshot blast, jet plane 180 Rocket launching pad

Speaker Setup Guide

Caution

• Please don’t attach the surround speakers to the wall for Front surround setup.

Wall mounting the speakers

Before mounting

• Remember that the speaker system is heavy and that its weight could cause the screws to work loose, or the wall material to fail to support it, resulting in the speaker falling. Make sure that the wall you intend to mount the speakers on is strong enough to support them. Do not mount on plywood or soft surface walls.

• Mounting screws are not supplied. Use screws suitable for the wall material and support the weight of the speaker.

Caution

• If you are unsure of the qualities and strength of the wall, consult a professional for advice.

• Pioneer is not responsible for any accidents or damage that result from improper installation.

Wall mounting the center speaker

The center speaker has a mounting hole which can be used to mount the speaker on the wall.

5 mm/3/16 in

10 mm/3/8 in

5 mm to 7 mm (3/16 in. to 1/4 in.)

Wall mounting the other speakers

In addition to the center speaker, the front and surround speakers also have holes for wall mounting. However, if you are using the Front Surround setup described on the previous page, do not wall mount the surround speakers.

5 mm/ 3/16 in.

10 mm/ 3/8 in.

English

5 mm to 7 mm (3/16 in. to 1/4 in.)

Additional notes on speaker placement

• Install the main front left and right speakers at an equal distance from the TV.

• For optimum effect, install the rear speakers slightly above ear level.

• Install the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen.

Precautions:

• When installing the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure it with tape or some other suitable means. Otherwise, the speaker may fall from the TV due to external shocks such as earthquakes, endangering those nearby or damaging the speaker.

• The front (L/R), center and surround (L/R) speakers supplied with this system are magnetically shielded. However, depending on the installation location, color distortion may occur if the speaker is installed extremely close to the screen of a television set. If this happens, turn the power switch of the television set OFF, and turn it ON after 15 min to 30 min. If the problem persists, place the speaker system away from the television set.

• The receiver subwoofer is not magnetically shielded and so should not be placed near a TV or monitor. Magnetic storage media (such as floppy discs and tape or video cassettes) should also not be kept close to the receiver subwoofer.

• Do not attach the receiver subwoofer to the wall or ceiling. They may fall off and cause injury.

• For safety, make sure that there is no exposed bare speaker wire outside of the speaker terminals.

• Do not connect the supplied speakers with any other amplifier. This may result in malfunction or fire.

• Do not connect any speakers other than those supplied to this system.

Using the Auto MCACC setup for optimal surround sound

The Multichannel Acoustic Calibration (MCACC) system measures the acoustic characteristics of your listening area, taking into account ambient noise, and testing for channel delay and channel level. After you have set up the microphone provided, the system uses the information from a series of test tones to optimize the speaker settings and equalization (Acoustic Calibration

EQ) for your particular room.

Important

• The test tones used for Auto MCACC setup are loud; however, do not turn the volume down during setup as this may result in a sub-optimal setup.

• Make sure the microphone and speakers are not moved during the MCACC setup.
